The monument to the good soldier Švejk is located on the market square in Przemyśl. It depicts the figure of Švejk sitting on a box of ammunition, holding a mug of beer in his left hand and a pipe in his right. The author of the monument is the sculptor Jacek Szpak. It was unveiled in the summer of 2008.

During the Schweikko Maneuvers in 2016, a dog was unveiled whose bowl systematically fills with pennies thrown in by tourists.
In 2017, next to Švejk, the Instruction Manual for the statue of the Good Soldier Józef Švejk was placed, which reads:

If you grab Józef Szwejk for:
1. Hat - you will be smart
2. Nose - you will be happy
3. Epaulettes - you will advance
4. A pipe - a joy for a woman
5. A pint - you won't be thirsty
6. Shoes - they won't get you out of work
7. Ears! - you will be considered a spy
Attention! You can use one beneficial option.

A bronze statue of the title character of the novel by Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek. By sitting on a bench (or on the lap of a "good soldier") you can take a souvenir photo. Beware of explosives! 🧨
